Can we get a Hybrid sight toggle change button?

Product: Battlefield 2042
Platform:PlayStation 5
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 5
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Multiplayer
Which part of the mode? Conquest
Please select your region Europe
On which server did this happen? All
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) Since launch 12/11/2021
Summarize your bug On my PS5 I use alternate 'soldier Buttons', as I like to use R3 as the crouch/ prone button. But since I want to use a hybrid sight. I can't toggle between sights without having to crouch/ prone to go from 1.5-3x zoom. Is there a button we could add or when selecting alternate sticks, that when you aim down sight the melee button ( which is circle ) become the toggle sight on hybrid sights ?
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go on ps5 set 'soldier buttons' to alternate ( R3 is crouch/ prone and melee is circle ). Put a hybrid sight on to you weapon then the only way to change sight is by pressing R3 which makes you crouch/ prone or stand up to flick between sights.
What happens when the bug occurs? You change sight while also crouching or standing or going prone.
What should be happening instead? I change my sight without going prone or crouch

Got to Options-Controller-Controller scheme.

Go down to soldier buttons and change from default to alternate. (R3 become crouch/ prone and circle becomes melee )

Go into game and grab a weapon which allows hybrids sights. I use the SFAR-M GL. Put the hybrid sight on.  To flick between sights it's R3. When doing so you will go prone / crouch or stand. Which can be annoying when trying to use a hybrid sight.

  • I also have this problem on xbox series x and I have tied everything I can think of to change it to the intended button which would be B (Melee) but have found no way of changing it. Please make a button remap option for this or make it automatically switch to the alternate melee button when choosing that button control method.

  • Yup super annoying and an easy issue for the Devs to fix. I’m on PS4. Not too sure why the people who made this game didn’t play/test it or listen to any feedback on the problems. I don’t think it’s too much to ask to have an issues like this fixed in the next update. Really they just need to keep the button mapping consistent with the melee button, or at least give it its own mapping setting in the button mapping list. Come on Devs! Some of us were foolish enough to pay for more than the base game. Not too sure where you guys are drawing the line between game testers and players, all I know is I’m not getting paid to play this game and report all the numerous issues for you.

    So maybe we can have a fix for this in the next update since it wasn’t in the last three?

  • Same for PC. It is hard-coded to "F" which I use for MOVE RIGHT.
